El Salvador has several tourist routes where you can discover the best of nature, history and Salvadoran traditions. One of the most popular is the Ruta de las Flores, covering various natural areas and villages that compete to see which is the most beautiful. The first two towns that we visit are Juayúa and Apaneca which have many things in common. A nice central park, a peaceful life and especially two spectacular churches, each of them more beautiful that the other. Here is the church of Santa Lucia in Juayúa, and here the Church of San Andres Apostol in Apaneca. I will show you, and you will decide which one you like the most.
Next to Apaneca is Cerro Verde, a National Park of over 2500 hectares whose great attraction is hiking to the top of the volcanoes, although for people who are lazy like me have several less physically demanding trails, where we will walk surrounded by the best variety of native nature. Along the route you can enjoy the view of Lake Coatepeque, the impressive ceiba trees and some semi-wild species, like this fake Tarzan wannabe.
The best way to meet the immense beauty of the Ruta de las Flores is from the heights. And maybe you have the same problem that I have, I was not born a bird, I was born a human. But relax, here they solve this little problem. In order to solve the small human problem of not having wings, they have installed a zip line in the area of coffee plantations, where you can enjoy even more of the beauty of the Ruta de las Flores, with a touch of adrenaline.
At first, I said that the municipalities of the Ruta de las Flores compete to see which is the most beautiful. If the first two are proud of their churches, Salcoatitán and Actaco are proud of art. In the municipality of Salcoatitán the most impressive are the ceibas, these imposing trees that are a symbol of Central America. But what I have to show you are these mosaics that decorate walls and city parks. A beautiful and laborious craftsmanship with which Salcoatitán also tells its history, claiming to be the prettiest village in the Ruta de las Flores.
Durante estos días son muchos los lugares que he podido disfrutar en este pequeño gran país. Su capital San Salvador, playas de ensueño, ciudades coloniales, naturaleza exuberante, tradiciones, gastronomía... y si me preguntáis que es lo que más me ha gustado de todo, la respuesta la tengo muy clara, lo mejor de El Salvador es esto.
If Salcoatitán is proud of its mosaics, the streets of Ataco show wall paintings depicting scenes from their daily lives and cats. Because… tell me the truth, who doesn’t like cats? This mural gallery has made the town famous, and every year increased are the paintings that are shown on the walls of the houses of Ataco so, within a very short time, this small town will become one of the largest museums in America.
During these days I have enjoyed many places of this great little country. Its capital San Salvador, idyllic beaches, colonial cities, exuberant nature, traditions, gastronomy ... and if you ask me which is what I liked the most, I have the answer very clear, the best of El Salvador is this.

San SalvadorDowntown is the historic zone that has more than 400 historic buildings, here is where the Spanish built the first buildings four centuries ago. A different way to see the daily life and learn from our history in the city, a sightseeing opportunity to experience excellent points of interest including: the former presidential house, the relief map of El Salvador, the military museum, the first cry of independence bell, the Metropolitan Cathedral, La LibertadSquare, the national Theater, the national Palace, the kilometer 0 of San Salvador and more.

El Salvador

El Salvador (i/ɛlˈsælvədɔːr/; Spanish:[el salβaˈðor]), officially the Republic of El Salvador (Spanish:República de El Salvador, literally "Republic of The Savior"), is the smallest and the most densely populated country in Central America. El Salvador's capital and largest city is San Salvador. As of 2015, El Salvador had a population of approximately 6.38 million, making it the most densely populated country in the region. Its population consists largely of Mestizos of European and Indigenous American descent.

Next to Apaneca is Cerro Verde, a National Park of over 2500 hectares whose great attraction is hiking to the top of the volcanoes, although for people who are lazy like me have several less physically demanding trails, where we will walk surrounded by the best variety of native nature. Along the route you can enjoy the view of Lake Coatepeque, the impressive ceiba trees and some semi-wild species, like this fake Tarzan wannabe.
The best way to meet the immense beauty of the Ruta de las Flores is from the heights. And maybe you have the same problem that I have, I was not born a bird, I was born a human. But relax, here they solve this little problem. In order to solve the small human problem of not having wings, they have installed a zip line in the area of coffee plantations, where you can enjoy even more of the beauty of the Ruta de las Flores, with a touch of adrenaline.
At first, I said that the municipalities of the Ruta de las Flores compete to see which is the most beautiful. If the first two are proud of their churches, Salcoatitán and Actaco are proud of art. In the municipality of Salcoatitán the most impressive are the ceibas, these imposing trees that are a symbol of Central America. But what I have to show you are these mosaics that decorate walls and city parks. A beautiful and laborious craftsmanship with which Salcoatitán also tells its history, claiming to be the prettiest village in the Ruta de las Flores.
Durante estos días son muchos los lugares que he podido disfrutar en este pequeño gran país. Su capital San Salvador, playas de ensueño, ciudades coloniales, naturaleza exuberante, tradiciones, gastronomía... y si me preguntáis que es lo que más me ha gustado de todo, la respuesta la tengo muy clara, lo mejor de El Salvador es esto.
If Salcoatitán is proud of its mosaics, the streets of Ataco show wall paintings depicting scenes from their daily lives and cats. Because… tell me the truth, who doesn’t like cats? This mural gallery has made the town famous, and every year increased are the paintings that are shown on the walls of the houses of Ataco so, within a very short time, this small town will become one of the largest museums in America.

Guía de El Salvador - Travel Guide

El Salvador Impresionante / El Salvador Impressivehttp://elsalvador.travel/impressive/en/
Today we will travel through El Salvador, a little great country that has a lot to show, so let’s not waste time and let's go to our first destination: Suchitoto, which is for me the great secret jewel of the colonial towns. Located next to LakeSuchitlán, there are few colonial cities in Latin America as well preserved and so little exploited by tourism, so it is a delight to walk through its streets surrounded by colors, history and especially the Salvadoran peaceful life.
Important notice! If you come to Suchitoto you are going to get your hands dirty because we are in one of the great centers of natural production of indigo. For those who do not know what I’m saying, indigo is a plant whose lea...

El Salvador Travel Video Guide

El SalvadorTravelVideoGuide - El Salvador sneaks up on you: in lefty lounge bars in San Salvador, at sobering museums and war memorials, and along lush cloud-forest trails; it's a place of remarkable warmth and intelligence, made all the more appealing for being so unexpected. Travellers tend to skip El Salvador, wooed by marquee destinations such as Guatemala and Costa Rica, and unnerved by stories of civil war and gang violence. But the war ended almost 20 years ago, and crime, while serious, is almost exclusively played out between rival gangs; tourists are virtually never involved.
El Salvador Travel Fact: And though El Salvador has fewer protected areas than its neighbors, you get them practically to yourself -- including pristine forests, active volcanoes and sparkling lakes. Th...

El Salvador Travel Diary

It has been 9 years since the last time I visited El Salvador. This trip honestly meant the world to me

A Tourist's Guide to San Salvador, El Salvador

From Flores, Guatemala, I fly to San Salvador, capital of El Salvador. I take a tour of the historical central core, then head up to a nearby volcano to see a crater. After stopping off a great vantage point overlooking in the city, I head back to the hotel.
Instead of being a hotbed of gang violence, I find the El Salvadorian capital to be a great stopover.

El Salvador Impresionante / El Salvador Impressivehttp://elsalvador.travel/impressive/en/
Today we will travel through El Salvador, a little great country that has a lot to show, so let’s not waste time and let's go to our first destination: Suchitoto, which is for me the great secret jewel of the colonial towns. Located next to LakeSuchitlán, there are few colonial cities in Latin America as well preserved and so little exploited by tourism, so it is a delight to walk through its streets surrounded by colors, history and especially the Salvadoran peaceful life.
Important notice! If you come to Suchitoto you are going to get your hands dirty because we are in one of the great centers of natural production of indigo. For those who do not know what I’m saying, indigo is a plant whose leaves, after a fermentation process, give a natural blue dye called indigo, with which we are going to dye a scarf
The first thing to do are knots with rubbers, thereby creating our own decor. Then, with a thread we will roll up the scarf to turn it into a long sausage. Now is when we are going to stain our hands submerging the scarf several times in the dye. We remove the excess of indigo, washing with soap and water, let it dry for several hours and we have our indigo-dyed scarf following natural processes.
El Salvador has two very good things for a visitor. The first is that it has everything: colonial towns, archeological sites, lush nature, endless beaches, traditions, gastronomy ... And the second is that being a small country, everything is very close. You know what they say: good essences come in small countries.
That's right, El Salvador has everything, and everything is very close so we will not take too long to reach El Malecón del Puerto de La Libertad, a destination that blends tradition and gastronomy. That pier that goes into the sea keeps the best of traditional Salvadoran fishing, dozens of small boats that every day bring to harbor an amazing variety of fish, which are cleaned and sold right away in the same boat where hours earlier they were fished. This gorgeous fish market is the source of fish of the chefs of the best restaurants in the country, and now you can imagine that here you can eat perhaps the best ceviches of El Salvador.
I do not want to end the episode without showing you at least one other site, so let's get to the surfer’s paradise of El Salvador: the beach of El Tunco, a destination marked in red on the agenda of waves lovers. Here come every year thousands of surfers from all over the world who spend hours into in these warm waters of the Pacific Ocean, constantly catching waves. It seems that the day in El Tunco is running out, but we still have much to discover in El Salvador, but we will do it another day and in another video.

El SalvadorTravelVideoGuide - El Salvador sneaks up on you: in lefty lounge bars in San Salvador, at sobering museums and war memorials, and along lush cloud-forest trails; it's a place of remarkable warmth and intelligence, made all the more appealing for being so unexpected. Travellers tend to skip El Salvador, wooed by marquee destinations such as Guatemala and Costa Rica, and unnerved by stories of civil war and gang violence. But the war ended almost 20 years ago, and crime, while serious, is almost exclusively played out between rival gangs; tourists are virtually never involved.
El Salvador Travel Fact: And though El Salvador has fewer protected areas than its neighbors, you get them practically to yourself -- including pristine forests, active volcanoes and sparkling lakes. The only place you might find a crowd is on Punta Roca, El Salvador's most famous surfing spot -- it happens to be one of the best right point breaks in the world, yet is a ghost town compared to lesser swells in Costa Rica and elsewhere. And when it comes to cities, none in Central America is smarter or cooler than San Salvador, with first-rate universities, museums and galleries, a vibrant bar and live-music scene, and an array of progressive NGOs, both local and international.

El Salvador has several tourist routes where you can discover the best of nature, history and Salvadoran traditions. One of the most popular is the Ruta de las Flores, covering various natural areas and villages that compete to see which is the most beautiful. The first two towns that we visit are Juayúa and Apaneca which have many things in common. A nice central park, a peaceful life and especially two spectacular churches, each of them more beautiful that the other.

El Salvador has several tourist routes where you can discover the best of nature, history and Salvadoran traditions. One of the most popular is the Ruta de las Flores, covering various natural areas and villages that compete to see which is the most beautiful. The first two towns that we visit are Juayúa and Apaneca which have many things in common. A nice central park, a peaceful life and especially two spectacular churches, each of them more beautiful that the other. Here is the church of Santa Lucia in Juayúa, and here the Church of San Andres Apostol in Apaneca. I will show you, and you will decide which one you like the most.
Next to Apaneca is Cerro Verde, a National Park of over 2500 hectares whose great attraction is hiking to the top of the volcanoes, although for people who are lazy like me have several less physically demanding trails, where we will walk surrounded by the best variety of native nature. Along the route you can enjoy the view of Lake Coatepeque, the impressive ceiba trees and some semi-wild species, like this fake Tarzan wannabe.
The best way to meet the immense beauty of the Ruta de las Flores is from the heights. And maybe you have the same problem that I have, I was not born a bird, I was born a human. But relax, here they solve this little problem. In order to solve the small human problem of not having wings, they have installed a zip line in the area of coffee plantations, where you can enjoy even more of the beauty of the Ruta de las Flores, with a touch of adrenaline.
At first, I said that the municipalities of the Ruta de las Flores compete to see which is the most beautiful. If the first two are proud of their churches, Salcoatitán and Actaco are proud of art. In the municipality of Salcoatitán the most impressive are the ceibas, these imposing trees that are a symbol of Central America. But what I have to show you are these mosaics that decorate walls and city parks. A beautiful and laborious craftsmanship with which Salcoatitán also tells its history, claiming to be the prettiest village in the Ruta de las Flores.
Durante estos días son muchos los lugares que he podido disfrutar en este pequeño gran país. Su capital San Salvador, playas de ensueño, ciudades coloniales, naturaleza exuberante, tradiciones, gastronomía... y si me preguntáis que es lo que más me ha gustado de todo, la respuesta la tengo muy clara, lo mejor de El Salvador es esto.
If Salcoatitán is proud of its mosaics, the streets of Ataco show wall paintings depicting scenes from their daily lives and cats. Because… tell me the truth, who doesn’t like cats? This mural gallery has made the town famous, and every year increased are the paintings that are shown on the walls of the houses of Ataco so, within a very short time, this small town will become one of the largest museums in America.
During these days I have enjoyed many places of this great little country. Its capital San Salvador, idyllic beaches, colonial cities, exuberant nature, traditions, gastronomy ... and if you ask me which is what I liked the most, I have the answer very clear, the best of El Salvador is this.

Next to Apaneca is Cerro Verde, a National Park of over 2500 hectares whose great attraction is hiking to the top of the volcanoes, although for people who are lazy like me have several less physically demanding trails, where we will walk surrounded by the best variety of native nature. Along the route you can enjoy the view of Lake Coatepeque, the impressive ceiba trees and some semi-wild species, like this fake Tarzan wannabe.
The best way to meet the immense beauty of the Ruta de las Flores is from the heights. And maybe you have the same problem that I have, I was not born a bird, I was born a human. But relax, here they solve this little problem. In order to solve the small human problem of not having wings, they have installed a zip line in the area of coffee plantations, where you can enjoy even more of the beauty of the Ruta de las Flores, with a touch of adrenaline.
At first, I said that the municipalities of the Ruta de las Flores compete to see which is the most beautiful. If the first two are proud of their churches, Salcoatitán and Actaco are proud of art. In the municipality of Salcoatitán the most impressive are the ceibas, these imposing trees that are a symbol of Central America. But what I have to show you are these mosaics that decorate walls and city parks. A beautiful and laborious craftsmanship with which Salcoatitán also tells its history, claiming to be the prettiest village in the Ruta de las Flores.
Durante estos días son muchos los lugares que he podido disfrutar en este pequeño gran país. Su capital San Salvador, playas de ensueño, ciudades coloniales, naturaleza exuberante, tradiciones, gastronomía... y si me preguntáis que es lo que más me ha gustado de todo, la respuesta la tengo muy clara, lo mejor de El Salvador es esto.
If Salcoatitán is proud of its mosaics, the streets of Ataco show wall paintings depicting scenes from their daily lives and cats. Because… tell me the truth, who doesn’t like cats? This mural gallery has made the town famous, and every year increased are the paintings that are shown on the walls of the houses of Ataco so, within a very short time, this small town will become one of the largest museums in America.
During these days I have enjoyed many places of this great little country. Its capital San Salvador, idyllic beaches, colonial cities, exuberant nature, traditions, gastronomy ... and if you ask me which is what I liked the most, I have the answer very clear, the best of El Salvador is this.

Crossing Mexico's Other Border

When traveling from Central America to the United States through Mexico, immigrants are forced to battle drug cartels, corrupt police officers, and human traffickers, all before they even come close to the US border.
People tend to assume that the immigrants crossing the US--Mexico border are all Mexican. The reality is that a large percentage of them come from Central America, and their journey north is grueling. To get to the US, they first have to pass through Mexico, an ordeal that often ends up being even more difficult than getting into the United States. Most migrants cross into Mexico on rafts, via the Suchiate River.

TOUCHING: Rebuilding A Collapsed School In Ecuador!!!

"Love has a language which transcends all other languages, barriers and distance..." - T.B. Joshua
When an earthquake struck the nation of Ecuador in April 2016, thousands of miles away in Lagos, Nigeria, the distressing images of devastation wrought by the natural disaster weighed heavily on T.B. Joshua's heart. Compassion spoke and the Emmanuel TV Ecuador EarthquakeReliefTeam was born!
One of many projects embarked on was the restoration of the Juan Lorenzo Añapa Educational Complex - a facility almost completely destroyed by the quake. Today, hundreds of Ecuadorian children in the Chachi indigenous village of San Salvador are preparing to return back to school in fully refurbished classrooms - thanks to the generous support of Emmanuel TV Partners worldwide.

On The Line: Danny Gold Discusses El Salvador’s War on Gangs

Follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/vicenews) where we'll announce the next topic for On The Line.
On Thursday at 12pm ESTVICENews correspondentDannyGold (https://www.twitter.com/DGisSerious) joined On The Line to take your questions on the escalating violence between gangs and police in El Salvador.
El Salvador has now eclipsed neighboring Honduras as the most murderous peacetime country in the world. To combat the violence, the government has given police and military permission to shoot first, and ask questions later. The country's supreme court has ruled that gangs should be defined as terrorist organizations, and gang members can face terrorism charges.
Danny Gold traveled to El Salvador for VICE News to investigate what many are now calling a war between the street gangs...

In theName of the People : El Salvador's Civil War1985 DOCU - Martin Sheen -
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087468/
A Film by FrankChristopher & Alex Drehsler
Narrated by: Martin Sheen
ENGLISHVHS rip to xvid (yeah right, you try to find a DVD copy)
Video: 528x400 29.97 fps COLOR 1187Kbps xvid 1.1.2
Audio: 128kbit ABRJoint StereoMP3English.
Runtime: 1:13:57 698MB
I make no apologies for the quality of the video. That said, the color is somewhat faded
as though its a VHS of a broadcast. The audio is great though, makes you think Apocolypse Now,
when you hear Martin Sheen start into his narration.
By the way, I am told Ramone died in a major offensive by the government while this movie
was in post production, along with a few others they show. I believe my one-eyed
El Salvadoran friend when he tells me he fought alongside Ramone and shared many battles.
Reviews:
An evocative vision of a nation and its tragic civil conflict, IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE is the record of four filmmakers who secretly entered El Salvador, marched with a guerrilla column across the troubled country, and followed it into combat against government forces in San Salvador.
The civil war is given a personal dimension as we meet the insurgents and their supporters - a guerrilla commander, a 12 year old messenger, a peasant family victimized by right wing death squads, and Charlie Clements, an American doctor working with the rebels.
** 1985 Academy Award Nominee, BestFeatureDocumentary
** Blue RibbonWinner, 1985 American Film Festival
"A clandestine documentary by American film-makers following eighteen months in the lives (and deaths) of guerrillas and peasants in the liberated areas of El Salvador. The subdued narration by Martin Sheen details the problems of daily life, food, weapons, recruitment, training, education, health and military actions."
http://www.timeout.com/film/newyork/reviews/76105/In_the_Name_of_the_People.html
I was amazed by the footage they provided of some of the terrible tragedies that happened in El Salvador.

15-year-old Rosetta attends a prenatal health demonstration in El Salvador. She tells us it is not uncommon to see pregnant 12 year-olds in the local community. The religious culture in El Salvador is such that young girls who have been victims of gang violence, incest and sexual assault are expected to carry their pregnancies to term. Otherwise they face criminal charges.
The threat of criminal offence extends to those who miscarry unintentionally. As lawyer Dennis Munoz explains, "obstetric complications are spontaneous or involuntary but the justice system in El Salvador interprets a spontaneous event as an intentional event". Medical professionals feel they must report any cases of miscarriage to the police, or face prosecution themselves. Even though the women should be protected by doctor patient confidentiality. MariaJosefina's daughter Evelyn was jailed for miscarriage, "she was handcuffed in the room she was hospitalised in", Maria cries.
With the country's lawmakers pushing for even heavier anti-abortion sentences, this system of oppressive institutionalised misogyny looks set to continue.

When traveling from Central America to the United States through Mexico, immigrants are forced to battle drug cartels, corrupt police officers, and human traffickers, all before they even come close to the US border.
People tend to assume that the immigrants crossing the US--Mexico border are all Mexican. The reality is that a large percentage of them come from Central America, and their journey north is grueling. To get to the US, they first have to pass through Mexico, an ordeal that often ends up being even more difficult than getting into the United States. Most migrants cross into Mexico on rafts, via the Suchiate River. After that, they need to protect themselves from corrupt Mexican police, drug cartels like the infamous Zetas, and even fellow migrants. They often travel by foot and by pubic transit, but many of them ride on top of "the Beast," the freight trains that travel from the south to the north of Mexico.
While the majority of the migrants are young men, a small percentage of them are women who endure hardships like the possibility of being raped by basically anyone they come across. Some of them are forced to stay in the border state of Chiapas and work as prostitutes because they are too weak to keep going, need to save some money to continue their journey, or, if they decide to stay , so they can travel back and forth between Mexico and their home countries to visit their kids[NJ1] .
In this episode of Fringes, we followed Yoana, a young girl from Guatemala who has been living in the small town of Huixtla, Chiapas, working as a prostitute to make money to help her two sons. We tagged along with a special unit from the state government that is in charge of protecting migrants as they travel through Chiapas. We then hopped on board the Beast with more than 400 other migrants traveling from Arriaga to Ixtepec, Oaxaca, to try to understand the hardships they go through and why they leave their homes in the first place.

When an earthquake struck the nation of Ecuador in April 2016, thousands of miles away in Lagos, Nigeria, the distressing images of devastation wrought by the natural disaster weighed heavily on T.B. Joshua's heart. Compassion spoke and the Emmanuel TV Ecuador EarthquakeReliefTeam was born!
One of many projects embarked on was the restoration of the Juan Lorenzo Añapa Educational Complex - a facility almost completely destroyed by the quake. Today, hundreds of Ecuadorian children in the Chachi indigenous village of San Salvador are preparing to return back to school in fully refurbished classrooms - thanks to the generous support of Emmanuel TV Partners worldwide.

Lo mejor de El Salvador - The very best of El Salvador

El Salvador has several tourist routes where you can discover the best of nature, history and Salvadoran traditions. One of the most popular is the Ruta de las Flores, covering various natural areas and villages that compete to see which is the most beautiful. The first two towns that we visit are Juayúa and Apaneca which have many things in common. A nice central park, a peaceful life and especially two spectacular churches, each of them more beautiful that the other. Here is the church of Santa Lucia in Juayúa, and here the Church of San Andres Apostol in Apaneca. I will show you, and you will decide which one you like the most.
Next to Apaneca is Cerro Verde, a National Park of over 2500 hectares whose great attraction is hiking to the top of the volcanoes, although for people who are lazy like me have several less physically demanding trails, where we will walk surrounded by the best variety of native nature. Along the route you can enjoy the view of Lake Coatepeque, the impressive ceiba trees and some semi-wild species, like this fake Tarzan wannabe.
The best way to meet the immense beauty of the Ruta de las Flores is from the heights. And maybe you have the same problem that I have, I was not born a bird, I was born a human. But relax, here they solve this little problem. In order to solve the small human problem of not having wings, they have installed a zip line in the area of coffee plantations, where you can enjoy even more of the beauty of the Ruta de las Flores, with a touch of adrenaline.
At first, I said that the municipalities of the Ruta de las Flores compete to see which is the most beautiful. If the first two are proud of their churches, Salcoatitán and Actaco are proud of art. In the municipality of Salcoatitán the most impressive are the ceibas, these imposing trees that are a symbol of Central America. But what I have to show you are these mosaics that decorate walls and city parks. A beautiful and laborious craftsmanship with which Salcoatitán also tells its history, claiming to be the prettiest village in the Ruta de las Flores.
Durante estos días son muchos los lugares que he podido disfrutar en este pequeño gran país. Su capital San Salvador, playas de ensueño, ciudades coloniales, naturaleza exuberante, tradiciones, gastronomía... y si me preguntáis que es lo que más me ha gustado de todo, la respuesta la tengo muy clara, lo mejor de El Salvador es esto.
If Salcoatitán is proud of its mosaics, the streets of Ataco show wall paintings depicting scenes from their daily lives and cats. Because… tell me the truth, who doesn’t like cats? This mural gallery has made the town famous, and every year increased are the paintings that are shown on the walls of the houses of Ataco so, within a very short time, this small town will become one of the largest museums in America.
During these days I have enjoyed many places of this great little country. Its capital San Salvador, idyllic beaches, colonial cities, exuberant nature, traditions, gastronomy ... and if you ask me which is what I liked the most, I have the answer very clear, the best of El Salvador is this.

Guía de El Salvador - Travel Guide

El Salvador Impresionante / El Salvador Impressivehttp://elsalvador.travel/impressive/en/
Today we will travel through El Salvador, a little great country that has a lot to show, so let’s not waste time and let's go to our first destination: Suchitoto, which is for me the great secret jewel of the colonial towns. Located next to LakeSuchitlán, there are few colonial cities in Latin America as well preserved and so little exploited by tourism, so it is a delight to walk through its streets surrounded by colors, history and especially the Salvadoran peaceful life.
Important notice! If you come to Suchitoto you are going to get your hands dirty because we are in one of the great centers of natural production of indigo. For those who do not know what I’m saying, indigo is a plant whose leaves, after a fermentation process, give a natural blue dye called indigo, with which we are going to dye a scarf
The first thing to do are knots with rubbers, thereby creating our own decor. Then, with a thread we will roll up the scarf to turn it into a long sausage. Now is when we are going to stain our hands submerging the scarf several times in the dye. We remove the excess of indigo, washing with soap and water, let it dry for several hours and we have our indigo-dyed scarf following natural processes.
El Salvador has two very good things for a visitor. The first is that it has everything: colonial towns, archeological sites, lush nature, endless beaches, traditions, gastronomy ... And the second is that being a small country, everything is very close. You know what they say: good essences come in small countries.
That's right, El Salvador has everything, and everything is very close so we will not take too long to reach El Malecón del Puerto de La Libertad, a destination that blends tradition and gastronomy. That pier that goes into the sea keeps the best of traditional Salvadoran fishing, dozens of small boats that every day bring to harbor an amazing variety of fish, which are cleaned and sold right away in the same boat where hours earlier they were fished. This gorgeous fish market is the source of fish of the chefs of the best restaurants in the country, and now you can imagine that here you can eat perhaps the best ceviches of El Salvador.
I do not want to end the episode without showing you at least one other site, so let's get to the surfer’s paradise of El Salvador: the beach of El Tunco, a destination marked in red on the agenda of waves lovers. Here come every year thousands of surfers from all over the world who spend hours into in these warm waters of the Pacific Ocean, constantly catching waves. It seems that the day in El Tunco is running out, but we still have much to discover in El Salvador, but we will do it another day and in another video.

El Salvador Travel Video Guide

El SalvadorTravelVideoGuide - El Salvador sneaks up on you: in lefty lounge bars in San Salvador, at sobering museums and war memorials, and along lush cloud-forest trails; it's a place of remarkable warmth and intelligence, made all the more appealing for being so unexpected. Travellers tend to skip El Salvador, wooed by marquee destinations such as Guatemala and Costa Rica, and unnerved by stories of civil war and gang violence. But the war ended almost 20 years ago, and crime, while serious, is almost exclusively played out between rival gangs; tourists are virtually never involved.
El Salvador Travel Fact: And though El Salvador has fewer protected areas than its neighbors, you get them practically to yourself -- including pristine forests, active volcanoes and sparkling lakes. The only place you might find a crowd is on Punta Roca, El Salvador's most famous surfing spot -- it happens to be one of the best right point breaks in the world, yet is a ghost town compared to lesser swells in Costa Rica and elsewhere. And when it comes to cities, none in Central America is smarter or cooler than San Salvador, with first-rate universities, museums and galleries, a vibrant bar and live-music scene, and an array of progressive NGOs, both local and international.

From Flores, Guatemala, I fly to San Salvador, capital of El Salvador. I take a tour of the historical central core, then head up to a nearby volcano to see a crater. After stopping off a great vantage point overlooking in the city, I head back to the hotel.
Instead of being a hotbed of gang violence, I find the El Salvadorian capital to be a great stopover.

I make no apologies for the quality of the video. That said, the color is somewhat faded
as though its a VHS of a broadcast. The audio is great though, makes you think Apocolypse Now,
when you hear Martin Sheen start into his narration.
By the way, I am told Ramone died in a major offensive by the government while this movie
was in post production, along with a few others they show. I believe my one-eyed
El Salvadoran friend when he tells me he fought alongside Ramone and shared many battles.
Reviews:
An evocative vision of a nation and its tragic civil conflict, IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE is the record of four filmmakers who secretly entered El Salvador, marched with a guerrilla column across the troubled country, and followed it into combat against government forces in San Salvador.
The civil war is given a personal dimension as we meet the insurgents and their supporters - a guerrilla commander, a 12 year old messenger, a peasant family victimized by right wing death squads, and Charlie Clements, an American doctor working with the rebels.
** 1985 Academy Award Nominee, BestFeatureDocumentary
** Blue RibbonWinner, 1985 American Film Festival
"A clandestine documentary by American film-makers following eighteen months in the lives (and deaths) of guerrillas and peasants in the liberated areas of El Salvador. The subdued narration by Martin Sheen details the problems of daily life, food, weapons, recruitment, training, education, health and military actions."

15-year-old Rosetta attends a prenatal health demonstration in El Salvador. She tells us it is not uncommon to see pregnant 12 year-olds in the local community. The religious culture in El Salvador is such that young girls who have been victims of gang violence, incest and sexual assault are expected to carry their pregnancies to term. Otherwise they face criminal charges.
The threat of criminal offence extends to those who miscarry unintentionally. As lawyer Dennis Munoz explains, "obstetric complications are spontaneous or involuntary but the justice system in El Salvador interprets a spontaneous event as an intentional event". Medical professionals feel they must report any cases of miscarriage to the police, or face prosecution themselves. Even though the women should be protected by doctor patient confidentiality. MariaJosefina's daughter Evelyn was jailed for miscarriage, "she was handcuffed in the room she was hospitalised in", Maria cries.
With the country's lawmakers pushing for even heavier anti-abortion sentences, this system of oppressive institutionalised misogyny looks set to continue.

Crossing Mexico's Other Border

When traveling from Central America to the United States through Mexico, immigrants are forced to battle drug cartels, corrupt police officers, and human traffickers, all before they even come close to the US border.
People tend to assume that the immigrants crossing the US--Mexico border are all Mexican. The reality is that a large percentage of them come from Central America, and their journey north is grueling. To get to the US, they first have to pass through Mexico, an ordeal that often ends up being even more difficult than getting into the United States. Most migrants cross into Mexico on rafts, via the Suchiate River. After that, they need to protect themselves from corrupt Mexican police, drug cartels like the infamous Zetas, and even fellow migrants. They often travel by foot and by pubic transit, but many of them ride on top of "the Beast," the freight trains that travel from the south to the north of Mexico.
While the majority of the migrants are young men, a small percentage of them are women who endure hardships like the possibility of being raped by basically anyone they come across. Some of them are forced to stay in the border state of Chiapas and work as prostitutes because they are too weak to keep going, need to save some money to continue their journey, or, if they decide to stay , so they can travel back and forth between Mexico and their home countries to visit their kids[NJ1] .
In this episode of Fringes, we followed Yoana, a young girl from Guatemala who has been living in the small town of Huixtla, Chiapas, working as a prostitute to make money to help her two sons. We tagged along with a special unit from the state government that is in charge of protecting migrants as they travel through Chiapas. We then hopped on board the Beast with more than 400 other migrants traveling from Arriaga to Ixtepec, Oaxaca, to try to understand the hardships they go through and why they leave their homes in the first place.

TOUCHING: Rebuilding A Collapsed School In Ecuador!!!

"Love has a language which transcends all other languages, barriers and distance..." - T.B. Joshua
When an earthquake struck the nation of Ecuador in April 2016, thousands of miles away in Lagos, Nigeria, the distressing images of devastation wrought by the natural disaster weighed heavily on T.B. Joshua's heart. Compassion spoke and the Emmanuel TV Ecuador EarthquakeReliefTeam was born!
One of many projects embarked on was the restoration of the Juan Lorenzo Añapa Educational Complex - a facility almost completely destroyed by the quake. Today, hundreds of Ecuadorian children in the Chachi indigenous village of San Salvador are preparing to return back to school in fully refurbished classrooms - thanks to the generous support of Emmanuel TV Partners worldwide.

On The Line: Danny Gold Discusses El Salvador’s War on Gangs

Follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/vicenews) where we'll announce the next topic for On The Line.
On Thursday at 12pm ESTVICENews correspondentDannyGold (https://www.twitter.com/DGisSerious) joined On The Line to take your questions on the escalating violence between gangs and police in El Salvador.
El Salvador has now eclipsed neighboring Honduras as the most murderous peacetime country in the world. To combat the violence, the government has given police and military permission to shoot first, and ask questions later. The country's supreme court has ruled that gangs should be defined as terrorist organizations, and gang members can face terrorism charges.
Danny Gold traveled to El Salvador for VICE News to investigate what many are now calling a war between the street gangs and the government.
